Summer is here!

The sun accompanies good weather, oxygenates our skin and promotes the production of Vitamin D, so important for the formation of our bones and for our immune system. But it can also be very harmful if we don't know how to protect ourselves properly.

What's Happening?

When the sun's rays radiate our skin, some of them are absorbed by our cells, modifying their normal growth and appearance and promoting the appearance of wrinkles, sunspots and photo-aging.

How to Combat It?

From IOOXLabs, we suggest some practical tips to enjoy the beautiful summer sun, but without aggravating your skin:

1. Don't forget the sunscreen!

Broad spectrum sunscreen is a must. It covers the skin, reducing the amount of UVA, UVB and IR rays that damage it. Even so, there are different skin types, so it's important to choose the sunscreen that best suits you.

Delicate and hyperactive skin

Sensitive and hyper-reactive skin may be intolerant to conventional sunscreens formulated with chemical sunscreens. For this reason, we present to you our Solderm Total Colourless SPF 40. It is designed for the most delicate skin, children and babies. It contains only physical filters, so you have the best sun protection without irritating your skin, and maintaining the special soft and creamy texture ever.

A Touch of Color

Take care of the skin, maintain a beautiful and natural tone while protecting it from the sun. Everything is possible! Impervious to water, it is the ideal sun protection for athletes who want to maintain a touch of color. It contains pigments that give it color and can be used as a daily makeup base. Formulated only with physical filters, it is especially suitable for the most delicate and hyper-reactive skin.

Whatever your skin type, it is advisable to apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before exposure, and re-apply it every 2 hours, especially if we are also soaking.

2. Prepare your skin in time

Taking care of our skin is as essential inside as it is outside. Oral supplements are a good option for skin that is more sensitive to solar radiation; in addition to offering an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating effect. You have to start taking them well in advance (a few weeks before the summer season) for them to be effective.

The capsules Solderm Antioxidant contain Polipodium Leucotomos, a fern that naturally reduces the impact of UV rays on skin cells. It also offers antioxidant ingredients such as green tea, resveratrol, lutein, lycopene and Vitamins E and D, which protect our eyes and skin from sun damage.

3. Clothes Also Protect

We must use physical barriers such as long pants, shirts, hats and last but not least, approved sunglasses. Our Eyes Suffer Too!

4. Hydration

‍

If we have suffered a burn, the most appropriate thing would be to drink water to recover the dehydration and to apply an after-sun product, which calms and relieves the instant burning sensation caused by exposure to the sun.

In any case, it is recommended that we take into account the daily maintenance of the skin. For this purpose, it is ideal to apply a cream or emulsion that restores the moisture value lost during sun exposure. This habit will have long-term effects by regenerating the skin's hydration and flexibility and protecting it from new exposures.

Vitamin E, citric acid and lactic acid have antioxidant, moisturizing and protective properties.

The combination your skin needs to stay fresh and hydrated after a long day in the sun!

5. Get Away from the Sun at Peak Times

Sunbathing between 20 and 30 minutes a day is beneficial to promote an increase in vitamin D levels in the body, but avoid the hours with the highest incidence of sunlight, that is, between 11 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, and direct sunbathing.
